Liam Martin spelt backwards is Nitram Mail. True story

Which rhymes with Alexei Sayle meaning he must be a clown.

 

[SneakyEel]

Does anyone else think that we are missing another genuine prop on the bench? If we lose RCG or Junior think we could be in trouble. Surely there's someone other than Taupau that we could snag.

We had our eye on him ?

Extended 1 year to end 2024.

Would’ve loved to have signed him.

1. What's a genuine prop?
2. No. We've got 3 elite middles on a lot of money between them. From the games I've seen of Hopgood in cup and firsts he should be a good player for us. I reckon out of Brown, Ogden, Murchie, Greig, Momoisea we should get 2 players who were as serviceable as Kaufusi and Marata were last year.

Not a huge martin fan considering the money he wants don't think he's worth it at all. He's not an overly skillful backrower just a hard-running backrower that would be easily replaceable imo.

Is Rodwell still at the club?

Everyone's forgetting Makatoa - held down a spot on our bench for almost the entire season, so under BA will likely do so again.

I reckon he's a great club footballer. Does all the 1%'s, doesn't float in and out games (like Lane can for instance), you know what you're getting each week, he's always 100% effort. But he's not a game breaking back rower. So while Lane might have a tendency to float in and out, he is at least capable of coming up with a play that can win his team a game (prelim final a case in point)... Martin, while a key cog in a successful machine, is not worth the money he was reportedly looking for... For their strengths and weaknesses, I reckon Lane and Martin are probably on similar money as it happens. Lane, for all his inconsistent brilliance and Martin with his all-out effort but pretty 'stock' outputs, both have their part to play, just not on elite money...

That’s your opinion but you don’t make the NSW team if you weren’t talented. His strength is his hard running game. He good hole runner. Not every second rower needs to be a 5/8. I’d rather have Martin over tight arse Matterson.

You’ve got it wrong! Everyone’s TRYING to forget makatoa and add Jakey to that list as well.

He’s only a NSW player because he plays for Penrith.

Shannon Boyd, Jamie Buhrer, Tim Grant, Kade Snowden say hi.

@Poupou Escobar

Ah! Yes, of course.

 

[lingard]

Do you know Bill that lives on my street?

You mean Bill, the ex lion tamer? Why, yes I do. Makes sense, I guess.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Is Rodwell still at the club?

Forgot about him, Makatoa as well. Another option after round 10 is Toni Mataele. BA likes his second-rowers to play 80 minutes, to get minutes in first grade he may come off the bench and play in the middle.

 

[lingard]

Matto's 650k could have been swapped with Ice.

Matto's a much better player than 'Ice'.

 

[Black Panther]

Martin is a cat.

Proved it in origin

And when he was our best forward in the World Cup.

 

[Black Panther]

Martin would rip off your head and shit down your throat.. He is a beast.

 

[hindy111]

A guy with 2-3 good games under his belt is worth $500k?

As I said. 350k-400k gets him. His performance was that dominant then yes.
